Interesting day in america today. The transfer of power has already begun at the white house this morning. President obama sat down with president elect trump, but trump did a funny thing.

As it was, into a National Political campaign and a nickname for himself. He was called old tip. You probably would not have been able to spin the victory here into as big of a thing as it was had he not been subsequently a successful general in the war of 1812. He ran for president in 1836, was unsuccessful. He ran again in 1840 with john tyler as his running mate. There was a Large Campaign rally here that attracted some 30,000 people.
